Ibanez RG652AHM-NGB RG Series Prestige with Case Electric Guitar

The Ibanez RG652AHM-NGB exemplifies the pinnacle of the RG Series Prestige line, integrating meticulous craftsmanship, premium materials, and advanced hardware. Hand-assembled in Ibanez’s Japanese Prestige factory, this instrument’s African Mahogany Maple (AHM) top and Honduran mahogany body deliver a warm, open tone with pronounced upper harmonics. Tuned to professional specifications and accompanied by a Nitro-Frame hardshell case, the RG652AHM-NGB is built for touring musicians and studio professionals seeking expressive versatility and enduring reliability.

1 | AHM Top & Honduran Mahogany Body Construction

The RG652AHM-NGB’s body combines a Honduran mahogany core with an African Mahogany Maple top, a specialty Ibanez lamination that enhances resonance and sustain. The dense mahogany body provides a rich low-end foundation while the AHM top accentuates midrange clarity and bright overtones. A natural finish highlights the wood’s grain, offering both aesthetic appeal and tactile comfort during play.

2 | Wizard™ Prestige Roasted Maple Neck

Featuring the Wizard™ Prestige neck profile, the 5-piece roasted maple neck ensures exceptional stability and fast playability. Roasting the maple tightens the wood’s cellular structure, reducing moisture absorption and warping. The neck’s ultra-thin, flat profile supports rapid legato runs, technical tapping, and intricate chord voicings, while a satin finish provides a frictionless surface for hand movement.

3 | Ebony Fingerboard with 400 mm Radius

The black ebony fingerboard offers a sleek, responsive feel under the fingers and contributes to the guitar’s bright attack and sustain. With 24 stainless-steel jumbo frets and a 400 mm radius, the fingerboard accommodates both vintage bends and modern shred techniques. Precision side dots and side luminescent markers ensure quick orientation under stage lighting.

4 | DiMarzio® Fusion Edge Pickups

A matched set of DiMarzio® Fusion Edge pickups in the neck and bridge positions deliver high-output performance, combining tight low-mid response, clear mids, and cutting highs. Designed in collaboration with Steve Vai, these pickups offer a balanced tonal spectrum suited for high-gain leads, articulate chords, and dynamic rhythm work. A five-way rotary selector allows for nuanced pickup combinations, while a push-pull tone control splits humbuckers to single-coil mode for further tonal variety.

5 | Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo with Zero-Point System

The Lo-Pro Edge tremolo bridge enables expressive vibrato and dive bombs while maintaining tuning stability. The integrated Zero-Point system offers an adjustable stop that balances tremolo tension, ensuring the bridge returns to its neutral position. Precision intonation screws and low-profile steel saddles allow for accurate setup and enhanced sustain.
